We often make a big batch of Ham and Corn Chowder and freeze in zip-loc bags (Quart or Gallon size) Very easy recipe, I often make it the day after we've cooked a ham for dinner. The recipe below calls for half-and-half, but milk is a fine substitute and lower in fat. I usually multiply all portions X6 except butter- just multiply that by 5. It just seems like a lot of butter!
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
1/2 cup butter
1 (17 oz) can cream style corn
1/2 cup half and half
1 cup chopped cooked ham
salt and pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup shredded carrots
Saute onion and celery with butter in Dutch oven until tender. Add remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat until heated. Do not boil. Yield: 4 cups
